If I well understand the firmware class it works starting the firmware download from the kernel side, that is into the kernel we should call request_firmware() and then the files will /sys/class/firmware/xxx/{loading,data} appear.
This solution doesn't fit C2 port needs since the firmware download is decided from userland erasing and then writing into the microcontroller on-board flash.
Ciao,
